Description
Barole 20mg Tablets contain Rabeprazole Sodium 20mg, a potent medication belonging to the class of drugs known as Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs). Rabeprazole works by specifically inhibiting the “proton pump” (H+/K+-ATPase) in the gastric parietal cells of the stomach, which is the final step in gastric acid secretion. By blocking this acid pump, Barole 20mg effectively and significantly reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
This medication is primarily prescribed for the treatment and management of various acid-related conditions of the stomach and esophagus, including:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): For healing and symptomatic relief of erosive or ulcerative GERD, and for long-term management (maintenance therapy) to prevent recurrence of symptoms.
- Peptic Ulcer Disease: To promote the healing of duodenal and gastric ulcers, often used in combination with antibiotics for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, a common cause of ulcers.
- Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: A rare condition characterized by excessive stomach acid production.
Barole 20mg provides sustained acid suppression, leading to symptom relief and healing of the damaged esophageal or stomach lining. It is typically taken once daily, usually before a meal, as directed by a healthcare professional.
